Review by Renato Portal

King Ganam and His Sons of the West have released an impressive album, Rippling Water Jig The Rocket Reel. The album features a combination of traditional Irish and Scottish music, as well as some original compositions. The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with each member of the band showcasing their skills on their respective instruments.

The album starts off with the lively and upbeat "The Rocket Reel," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track, "Rippling Water Jig," features some beautiful fiddle work by Ganam himself, while "The Lark in the Clear Air" showcases the band's ability to slow things down and create a more contemplative atmosphere.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Blackthorn Stick," which features some impressive flute playing by one of Ganam's sons. Another highlight is "The Star of County Down," a well-known Irish ballad that the band performs with great emotion and skill.
